YMMV / The Trinity Desk Project

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: Natural underground nuclear fission reactors are a real phenomenon. The diagram shown in The Other Oppenheimer in fact shows the only known natural nuclear reactor at Oklo, Gabon. The one at Roanoke Colony, however, is present only in Trinity Desk Project.
• Funny Moments:
  • NASA incinerating innocent Ivy League valedictorians in rocket fire (and very painfully, judging by the screams)? Horrifying, as you would expect. NASA having the balls to sell cremation urns with their ashes to their families? Hilarious.
  • "Footage of Transparent Cat" showcases a number of black-and-white clips of a black-gloved figure holding up items, including living creatures, before and after being rendered invisible. It is mildly creepy throughout, until one item is shown to be an ant being held up to the camera, and completely imperceptible even without the invisibility.
• The Woobie: The Ivy League valedictorians invited to the front row of a NASA rocket launch. After graduating top of their class, they finally get a bit of a break and get invitations to front row seats of a NASA rocket launch. Unfortunately for them, the "front row" is later revealed to be right next to the rocket thruster which results in them being roasted alive while screaming in utter pain and terror. As if to rub more salt in the wound, their ashes are later gathered in urns, which are sold by NASA to their grieving families.
